The Bar of Gold Door Stop ($88) is the perfect object to celebrate the collapsing economy, the upcoming recession, the high unemployment rate, the astronomical gas prices and of course the embarrassing devaluation of the US Dollar. As these winds of change blow through your home, you can rest assured that gold will always be there to protect the doors from slamming in your face or that growing pile of bills from blowing off your desk. Of course, it's not really a real solid bar of 24ct gold, but it is flash-plated gold over a aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel brick. It's surely heavy enough to throw through the window of your former employer's window or as a heavy projectile to lob into the air at the advancing police state. For now, it's main use is a door stop though. (via The Green Head)

Too funny. LIke a gold bar from Fort Knox. Not that I've ever seen a real live one. Just in movies... I suppose you could also display it on a shelf to hold up books or leave it on your desk to hold down a stack of papers. Too flashy! (via conranusa.com)

You're so money that you even use gold bars to hold your door open!

ha ha i can't believe this! you bet, i would definitely stop my door by using gold :) Gold is a funny and unusual door-stop that looks like a gold bar which will fit into your interior as if by magic. At the begining a trivial object, it will surprise all your guests by it's offbeat beauty!
